Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large eggs, separated (room temperature)
- 3 tablespoons cream cheese, softened (Philadelphia brand recommended)
- 1 tablespoon almond flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh herbs (chives or parsley) – optional
- Sandwich fillings: romaine or butter lettuce, thinly sliced tomato, sliced or mashed avocado, deli meat or grilled chicken, mustard, mayo, or pesto
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Separate 3 large eggs into yolks and whites. Place whites in a large mixing bowl and yolks in a smaller bowl.
- Add 3 tablespoons softened cream cheese to the yolks and whisk until smooth.
- Add 1 tablespoon almond flour, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and optional herbs to the yolk mixture. Mix until fully combined and creamy.
- Using an electric mixer, beat egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold one-third of the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture to lighten it, then carefully fold in the remaining whites, preserving as much air as possible.
- Spoon the batter onto the lined baking sheet in 6 equal rounds (about 3 inches diameter). Smooth tops lightly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and set. Tent with foil if browning too fast.
- Cool completely on a wire rack to prevent sogginess.
- Assemble sandwiches with desired fresh fillings between two cloud bread rounds.
Notes
Use room temperature eggs for better volume. Ensure bowls and beaters are grease-free to achieve stiff peaks. Fold egg whites gently to preserve airiness. If bread feels wet inside, bake 5 minutes longer. For dairy-free, substitute cream cheese with thick coconut cream but expect texture differences. Store leftovers in airtight container in fridge up to 3 days or freeze individually wrapped.
